I am just guessing but I think the button with the crown is going to be a royal guards. I can't read either backmark. Also, I think both of these are going to be Good ones. Hopefully, somebody that knows British buttons will correctly ID them.

Both backmarks are Firmin & Sons 153 Strand London. The second one includes “& 13 Conduit” in the middle. The date range on both is about 1850-1875.

I see you live in Britain, so your buttons are almost certainly from British Army "Named Regiments" (such as, the Coldstream Guards). Since you can see the lettering on your buttons better than we can, look for a match at the following link, which shows the buttons of British Army "Named Regiments."
